When Brett Hull's tweets make sense, they can be pretty funny. Tuesday night, he nailed one—a stone-cold troll job on an entire city.

"Happy halloween to all my friends in Buffalo!" the Hall of Famer wrote. Attached: A carved pumpkin depicting his infamous "crease rule" goal that won the Dallas Stars the 1999 Stanley Cup—and eliminated the Buffalo Sabres in front of their home fans.

Hull beat Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek for the Cup-clinching goal in triple-overtime in Game 6. Whether the goal should've counted or not is one of the more volatile debates in hockey's recent history. At the time, players couldn't enter the goalie's crease before the puck.

They could, however, stay in the crease once they established position—and refs said Hull did that, sliding back into Hasek and pushing a rebound off the goalie's pads. Then, while Hull's skates were still in the crease, he kicked another rebound back to his stick and scored. Game over, 2-1. Series over, 4-2.

Referees ruled that Hull didn't have to leave the crease because he never technically lost possession of the puck, and that the rule was appropriately ignored.

In any case, it was taken off the books soon after—but not before the Sabres absorbed one of the biggest gut punches in Buffalo's gut-punch-filled sporting history. Rumors that Hull is working a Scott Norwood/wide right pumpkin could not be confirmed.
